Limerick & Free Verse

This week we worked on poetry and the Homeschool Jedi wrote his own limerick and free verse poems. 

A widow who lived in Shanghai 

Constantly wished she could fly.

So she bought an airplane,

But she crashed in a plain,

Wishing she’d never again have to fly.

In the Park Home Run

The pitcher was furious from the previous hit,

so he threw a hard ball through the strike zone.

Though a little bit inside,

I smacked the ball to third.

Right in front of the players feet,

it bounced to the left of his head.

I rounded first base on a beeline straight to second.

The fielder overthrew second base

to the outfield instead.

I kicked up dirt as I rounded second base,

past third,

I could almost see home plate.

The right fielder threw the ball a little to the right of the fourth bag.

The catcher dove for the ball.

While I slid, a slight traffic jam occurred.

“SAFE,” yelled the umpire!

With helmet knocked off, 

I strutted back to the dugout

inspiring my team with the home run.

With our magnificent hits,

we will definitely win!
